T’Keyah Crystal Keymáh began writing poetry, essays and stories as a child. In the fourth grade, she wrote her first play, a satire on smoking, and her first song, a cute little ditty about divine inspiration. Keymáh has written for television and theater, including her self-penned stage shows, “T'Keyah Live! ...Mostly,” and “Don’t Get Me Started!” each of which include original music, and “Some of My Best Friends,” (with contributions from Harry Lennix, Ali LeRoi and Angela Jackson) which garnered an NAACP Theatre Award nomination for Best Writing. She also co-pinned the shows, S.I.S.T.E.R. (with Keisha Nickole), and Sellout!?! (w Bryan C. Jones). She authored the book version of Some of My Best Friends, the popular coffee table book, Natural Woman / Natural Hair, and was a contributing essayist to The Burden: African Americans and the Enduring Impact of Slavery - edited by Rochelle Riley, Dining with the Ancestors, by Dr. Eric J. Chambers – and The HBCU Experience Book, edited by Tia C.M. Myree, Ph.D. and Christopher D. Cathcart. In addition to joining the groundbreaking television show In Living Color with her signature piece, In Black World... Keymáh wrote all episodes of her new media project, The Cool Crystal Show (www.Keymah.com). Her newest book is Cycle of Love: 28 Days of Organization, Rejuvenation and Meditation for Inspired Self Care.
